However, new street rights-of-way may be counted but only to the extent that they are required <br /> to pass through or by open space uses as defined herein to link one buildable portion of a site with another; <br /> and they are located and/or constructed so as to have no adverse impacts on Primary and Secondary <br /> Conservation Areas. <br /> comment: A recommended strategy of the Rural Character Study Committee as well as several citizens was to <br /> allow the use of private roads as an incentive to encourage open space developments. That strategy <br /> has been incorporated into this proposal and is based on the assumption that a developer who uses <br /> one or more of the Flexible Development options is "entitled"to private roads subject to the limitations <br /> set forth above. <br /> Flexible Development 29 <br />
